The most disturbing thing isn't that Gleick & DeSmogBlog are crooked, but that almost no one on the Left, or in the leftist politicized science community, is troubled by it.
@The Guardian &
@Suzanne Goldenberg lied with gusto to cover up his crimes.
@NPR soft-peddled it
npr.org/2012/02/22/147…Gleick is also the proud recipient of Wonderfest's 2018 Carl Sagan Prize for Science Popularization:

I emailed Mr. Tucker Hiatt of Wonderfest, complaining about the inappropriateness of this reward. Here's how it went:
sealevel.info/Tucker_Hiatt_W… I also sent messages to some of the folks at
@Aduro Biotech, who sponsor this prize. They did not reply.
twitter.com/ncdave4life/st…@National Geographic rewarded Gleick for his crimes with a blog at their prestigious ScienceBlog subsidiary. He was their resident “scientist, innovator, and communicator” on “global water, environment, climate” (and presumably identity theft, fraud, forgery. etc.):

@AGU (American Geophysical Union) let him “resign” for “personal, private reasons” as chair of AGU's Task Force on Scientific Ethics. They did not revoke his AGU membership.

@NatlAcad of Sciences did not revoke his membership, either.
After his felonies were exposed,
@AGU (American Geophysical Union) honored Gleick with a speaking slot at the AGU 2013 Fall Meeting:
fakegate.org/american-geoph…@Scientific American whitewashed the affair, with an interview with Gavin Schmidt, who minimized the significance of the scandal, attacked Heartland, and didn't even mention the forgery.
scientificamerican.com/article/the-pe… That's a depressingly long list of corrupt institutions:
@AGU (American Geophysical Union),
@NatlAcad of Sciences,
@Scientific American,
@National Geographic,
@The Guardian,
@HuffPost,
@NPR,
@U.S. Attorney’s Office (NDIL), and, of course,
@Pacific Institute and
@DeSmog (and many prominent individuals).
